How to use this chart
The annual column uses the standard 2,080-hour year. If you take two weeks unpaid, multiply your rate by 2,000 instead. The after-tax column is what actually determines your budget — note how the gap between gross and net widens as rates climb into higher brackets. For a personalized figure with your own state tax, 401(k), and filing status, use the paycheck calculator; to convert a specific rate or schedule, the hourly to salary calculator handles any combination.
